Prayer 1672

During totality of the eclipse, August 21, 2017.

Let us rise and give thanks to our God,who has kept us safe
throughout the night.From our depths,may we testify
to your steadfast lovingkindness and power,O Blessed Savior and Guide.We put our trust in You,
O Lord of Hosts:turn our hearts to seek your truth.Knit us together in devotion and charity;lead us in paths of kindness and wisdom.Make us companions in your serviceand witnesses to your saving deeds.Deliver us from enmity and strife:soften our hearts and strengthen our wills to love.By the power of the Holy Spirit,place the seal of your kiss upon us, Lord,and your protection and blessing upon your children.Amen.
